"Obama's 95% Illusion
Obama's 95% Illusion Source WSJ.com One of Barack Obama's most potent campaign claims is that he'll cut taxes for no less than 95% of working families. He's even promising to cut taxes enough that the government's tax share of GDP will be no more than 18.2% -- which is lower than it is today. It's a clever pitch, because it lets him pose as a middle-class tax cut...

Maybe he had some sense knocked into him?
There are several articles videos on the web about the kite surfer in Florida who was severely injured after a wind gust slammed his body into a concrete building. I saw it last week on my local news. Ouch! http://www.wkrg.com/hurricane/article/caught_on_tape_wind_blows_kite_surfer_into_building/17014/...

Democratic race
Past several months have distanced myself from drama of political posts. Also not really excited over any political candidate this year although a very interesting race so far. Since Dick Morris knows the Clintons from the inside thought I'd post his latest commentary. Interesting article about Obama's stragegy. Obama used party rules to foil Clinton...

"Amit Goswami: Scientific Proof of the Existence of God
Interesting article about conclusions drawn by a well respected physicist. Not suggesting anyone change their particular beliefs, just food for thought. .......... Goswami is convinced, along with a number of others who subscribe to the same view, that the universe, in order to exist, requires a conscious sentient being to be aware of it. Without an observer, he claims, it only exists as a possibility. And as they say in the world of science, Goswami has done his m...

The Great Dictator
It [my job] would be easier if I was dictator - G.W. Bush He smirked when he said it, so we all thought it was a joke. Not so. He and his cohorts have given the Executive Branch of government unheard of power that supersede the powers of Congress. Anyone who doesn't see this is brain dead. I predict that there will be a catastrophe on US soil this year and we will get to see first hand why putting so much power in the hands of one man is a dangerous mistake....

113 year old woman passes away
I came across this story because I am thinking of relocating to North or South Carolina (like so many other Florida residents) and read the local news sometimes. Notice the sentence her 81 year old daughter took care of her. She was lucky to have a living child at her age. If she was really 113, then my Dad could have been her son, and he was 1 week away from 93 when he died. The saddest thing is to see all your loved ones leave as you...
